Well, I just retook the test, and this is what I get:  
Economic Left/Right: -5.75  
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.95

As you can see, I’ve moved two whole points right and one up! We’ll see what happens in the next few months.

Economic Left/Right: -8.25  
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.79

I may not be the most ultra-leftist liberal Doper in existence, but I’m down there with the best of them.

Dopers with a positive score on the Social Libertarian/Authoritarian scale are rare indeed. Have you paddled your kids today?
